Paramahansa YoganandaCoercion or compulsion never brings about growth. It is freedom that accelerates evolution.
Paramahansa YoganandaTo work with God's happiness bubbling in the soul is to carry a portable paradise within you wherever you go.
Paramahansa YoganandaEverything is Spirit - in essence, though hidden in manifestation. If you had the perception, you would see God in everything.
Paramahansa YoganandaThink of Divine Abundance as a mighty, refreshing rain. Whatever receptacle you have at hand will receive it. If you hold up a tin cup, you will receive only that quantity. If you hold up a bowl, that will be filled. What kind of receptacle are you holding up to Divine Abundance?
